Hey everyone.
I'm JollyG. I'm just getting started in to overlanding. And as per my nature I'm going to set up a rig that seems to not be used much. I'm six foot five, so a small rig doesn't really fit me.
My actual overland experience is small. But between past military, boy scouts, backpacking, and even driving a 18 wheeler, I think it gives me a good base to build from.
I am getting into overlanding for my love of nature and travel, (and it's an easy way to get the Mrs. To come.
My rig will be a 2008 gmc yukon. I've been a backyard mechanic some I was 18. But I never do anything with out tons of research. That is how I found overland bound ... researching roof racks and preping a big out vehicle.
I know this build will be slow going but I'm holding that over the next few years till it's completely outfitted, I can find some trips in the Midwest to get my feet wet with officially. So if anyone know of anything in the area of central Illinois let me know. (A drive required to a trail is welcomed.)
Looking forward to learning from everyone's experience.
Thanks JollyG
